She was staring at her reflection on the mirror. Her reflection got blurry for a second. She covered it immediately. She was in a blue gown. Her hair was straight and falling behind her shoulder. Her bruises were gone. She smiled, watching behind her in the mirror. Liam donned his coat and paced toward her. He held her in his arms and placed a kiss on her shoulder, " Dinner tonight? " He whispered.
" Sure," she blushed, " Where are we going? " She asked, peering at his face.
" It's a surprise. " He smiled.
His surprises are always the best. He interlocked their fingers and walked toward the dining hall. When they were on the last stair. His phone rang in his pocket. He grabbed it out and hoisted it up. She stayed there. She was not feeling usual. Her eyes were getting blurry again. This time, it lasted more than a second. She held the railing and blinked.
" Rose! You
Book THREE : Heartless Mafia Prince
CHAPTER ONE KAIRO A breathtaking place surrounded him. The soft colors of the sky were slowly fading away as the night deepened. He could hear loud music playing behind him. Physically, he was here but his mind was somewhere else. His hand was clenched tight around the glass, his eyes were intense. Inwardly, he was cursing himself. He always mulled over his mistakes and tried to learn from them and vowed to never repeat them. His brothers loved him so much that they couldn't punish him for his unforgivable mistakes. He was feeling blessed as there was no room for an apology in his ruthless world. He knew the sentence for mistakes in the dark mafia world. His expression was hard. He wanted to be somewhere else. In the dungeon - Drawing blood from his enemy's bodies, taking out his frustration. He strode away from the railing and grabbed the champagne bottle from the bucket of ice. He poured himself and put the bottle back, not bothered that it was tilt
KAIRO 'Brother has tightened the security around her. He keeps his next step in prediction. Indeed, all care about her.' "It's just a cut, brother. I don't need a doctor." He said to Liam. Liam took out his handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it on the bleeding spot, "Isha is a good girl. She won't take Danil away." Liam told him. He sighed and his shoulders sagged, "She's not Rose." He said. He felt disappointment in his own voice. He didn't give da** about the entire world if it was burning. All he cared about was his brothers. "Do not do anything stupid. He's Danil." Liam smirked and warned him. His lips curled up seeing his brother's smile. He felt blessed about one thing that his brother understood him without explaining. He hugged him. Being close to his brother was his safe zone. Liam strongly patted his back. He pulled back when he saw the doctor coming with Danny. Josh was gazing aro
ARIANA Her mother sat on the chair. She passed her assuring smile that she was well but blotches on her left cheek, forehead, arms, and collarbones said another story. However, she covered it with foundation. Her beautiful smile was doing a miracle but she knew her mother was in pain. She blinked the tears and bit hard on her tongue to stop the tears. Her father wouldn't like it. She was taught to endure pain and tolerate unfairness. The silence was making her nervous. She swallowed heavily. She snapped her head as her elder brother squeezed her hand. His gaze was on his wristwatch. He was waiting for his father to arrive at the dining table. He was a made man, a future heir to replace his father's position in the outfit. She wanted her mother to leave her father. Or she wanted her father to die. So her mother could breathe happily and they could sit like a happy family in the dining room. Her brother had always protected
She wanted to hold time if she could. But a week passed quickly. Marcella and the other staff got busy after hearing about the upcoming wedding. It was usual to spot them hurrying here and there, following her mother's orders. ' It isn't a big occasion. Our families and our Capo's family, underbosses are going to be part of this. Of my slaughter. ' Salvatore peered into her room from behind the door after giving a soft knock, "Are you ready, Ria?" He asked her. Whirling, she glanced at her brother with sad eyes. She had spent these past days smiling in the daytime and crying at night. She was wearing a backless tight blue dress, reaching her knees. Her blonde hair was curled and spread over her shoulders. She wanted to hide herself. She drew into a deep breath, "I guess," She blinked. Her tears seemed to dry crying the entire week. She glanced at him again but couldn't ask the question. "They are here," He replied to her unasked question
She was skittish after she felt his grey gaze on her. But the butterflies in her stomach were something new. He was handsome but dangerous too. Was she ready to go into his hell? She let out a long and slow breath as they walked out of the dining room. She was feeling more free getting away from his dark gaze. The kids had slept. Danny and Travis were holding them. Olivia gestured to them to follow her to their room. 'I'm curious. I've heard a lot of things about her and NY' Capo. Did he really kidnap her and then force her into the wedding? I don't want my curiosity to put me in any danger. And I'm going to avoid the ring.' "How did you meet Liam?" She asked, hesitantly and fearfully. But she was sure, Rose wouldn't mind telling her. Isha and Rose swiped their heads at her. Rose's cheeks turned pink. "Oh! That was truly amazing. They met in the club." Isha excitedly replied. Rose blushed harder as she cast her
Marcella brought the wedding gown that they purchased from the most expensive designer during the given time of the last week. Everyone was excited, apart from her. After all, it was she who was going to stay with enemies. Her father had ordered to decorate the backyard's vast garden for the wedding. Kairo wanted a simple wedding. But he also wanted to show their money power. After the bridal shower, she returned to her room. Heat crept into her face, all she was worried about was her wedding night, him taking her against her will. Tears stung in her eyes. She wanted to spare the tradition but her mother insisted on it. This was the part where she ruled. It was her last day in her parent's house. Her mother spent time with her as much as she could. She took a long hot shower as she was thinking it would cancel the wedding. She opened the door after her mother knocked on it repeatedly. "Ria! Are you okay?" 'They'd br
KAIRO He got behind the wheel. He was about to ignite his car. When the passenger side of the door opened. Danil got in the car and buckled himself. He creased his dark brows, "Where's your car, Dan?" He asked in a bored tone. "Your night wasn't pleasant. I guess," Danil smirked. He ignited the car and drove out of the garage, ignoring the topic. "What do you expect from an arranged marriage?" His shoulders deflated. He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, "I don't love her," He said. "But you like her," Danil retorted. He thinned his lips in a straight line, "She's beautiful." He sighed. "Oh! Your night must be painful," He smirked again. "Are you here to pull my leg?" He asked, shifting the gear. "There's an emergency meeting. Vincent would be there too. Brother wants us to attend the meeting," Danil's tone turned serious. He glimpsed at him and narrowed his eyes, "Is
ARIANA The ground dropped from her feet when Olivia told her that Vincent would be here at dinner tonight. 'Why is he here? Is my mother alright? My brother, Sal!' Tension encircled her. She grabbed her phone and immediately hit the call button on her brother's number. "Ria! Are you alright? What took you so long to make a call to me? You're not even replying to my messages?" Her brother's worried voice reached her ears. She never thought her brother would be so helpless. "I'm sorry. I was cooking for my new family." She said, sitting on the couch. She heard him snorting, "Don't they have staff?" His voice was a little crude. "They have. Indeed, my mother-in-law has appointed a bodyguard for me too. I can go out if I wanna go." She smiled. She always wanted freedom. "You don't sound frightened or worse. As I imagined." She heard him heaving. "I'm not. They are far different from what we have heard about them." She mutte
